Al Baumstark, Georgia State University
Dr. Baumstark served as Series editor for Advances in Oxygenated Processes (1988-96), JAI Press Inc., Greenwich CT, and is currently on the editorial board for Heterocyclic Communications (2003-present) and Colonial Academic Alliance Undergraduate Research Journal (2011-present). According to Dr. Baumstark, "My research interests center on the chemistry of oxygen-containing compounds with an emphasis on that of organic peroxides. We have focused on the mechanisms of oxygen-atom transfer reactions of unusual hydroperoxides and peroxides, under mild conditions. We have developed 17O NMR spectroscopic methods for the investigation of structures of organic oxygen-containing compounds. We have extensively investigated chemiexcitation during the thermolysis of novel 1,2-dioxetanes of 4-membered cyclic peroxides. Our efforts have led to major breakthroughs in understanding the control of reactivity and selectivity in oxygen-containing systems."
